My 10 year old DeWalt quit me this Summer. Acted just like yours. Couldn't get it to prime at all. After messing with it for an hour I gave up. Bought a Milwaukee.Always wondered if they're all they're made out to be. I now have a Dewalt and I really like it. - - although I put a new tube in and it doesn't pump anymore (it runs and tries to pump but no grease comes out). I don't think it's got air in it, but have been to busy to check it out.
Biggest difference is the DeWalt moved more grease per stroke than the Milwaukee. Took me a few times to get used to that. I subconsciously kept track of strokes on specific zerks. Had to change my mental count with the Milwaukee.
The best feature of the Milwaukee is the 2spd. I have some zerks that require a LOT of strokes.
I don't use the preset feature, I just mentally keep track.
